The three ancestors of the Qin family, distinguished by the character "Lie" in their titles, joined forces and directly controlled the erratic Demon Seed that was attempting to escape.

Then they watched, helpless, as Qin Qiu's primordial spirit was cleft in two by Chu Mo's blade.

"Alas!" Qin Lieyang heaved a deep sigh.

Qin Qiu was truly a peak existence within the Quasi-Supreme Realm; his primordial spirit had been split in half yet was still alive, still roaring. Desperately struggling, trying to come together, wanting to fuse back into one.

At that moment, Chu Mo coldly said to Qin Qiu's bisected primordial spirit, "The Ancestor Blood Demon, Ding Ling, must have not told you one thing. After the Demon Seed emerges by breaking your body, not only will it suck away all your cultivation, but it will also become the Demon Seed's master... which is to say, Ding Ling's nourishment!"

"You're lying!" Qin Qiu's primordial spirit roared, completely unable to accept Chu Mo's words.

"Just take it as if I'm lying then, I don't really care to prove it to you," Chu Mo replied, and immediately took action again.

Another slash.

He chopped Qin Qiu's primordial spirit into four parts!

The primordial spirit, now split into four pieces, was still screaming, still bellowing, unwilling to take its final bow.

But Chu Mo's strike was just too fierce. He didn't leave any chance at all and utterly dissipated Qin Qiu's primordial spirit.

The three "Lie"-titled ancestors from the Qin family suppressed the Demon Seed on one hand while witnessing this battle with their own eyes on the other. They attained a new understanding of Chu Mo's combat strength.

Too powerful, too terrifying!

And to the three of them, it felt as if Chu Mo had not even used his full strength. Otherwise, it's very possible that he alone could have suppressed Qin Qiu!

Could this be possible?

This thought startled them immensely.

At that time, Qin Lieyang asked in a grave voice, "Daoist Friend Chu, is what you said about the Demon Seed true?"

Chu Mo nodded, "Absolutely true."

All three "Lie"-titled ancestors from the Qin family took a sharp intake of breath.

Qin Lieshui asked, "Then... what about the millions of direct descendants from the families within this city? What should be done about them?"

At that moment, there was dead silence in the Ancient City as well.

Everyone, as if waiting for the pronouncement of their fate, held their breath.

"Creating more killing karma is not my intention. Let's seal off this city. This will prevent them from hearing the call of the Demon Clan and from sensing it. If there comes a day when I have the means to solve it, I shall personally take care of this matter," Chu Mo stated earnestly.

The three "Lie"-titled ancestors of the Qin family sighed. At this point, that was the only thing they could do.

At that moment, from afar in the sky, a Buddhist chant suddenly echoed: "Amitabha, Chu Benefactor, I hope you have been well."

A young monk was walking slowly along the horizon. With every step, golden lotuses bloomed beneath his feet.

Lotuses blooming with each step!

This was a truly high monk!

The "Lie"-titled Qin family ancestors' eyes widened instantaneously.

The young monk then spoke, "Honorable ones, Chu Benefactor, to resolve such a minor matter, why worry? Leave it to this poor monk."

Chu Mo looked at Xu Du with some surprise. He had not expected to meet this small monk he had befriended in the Immortal Realm here. After so many years, Xu Du seemed to have lost much of the sharp aura he had before, replaced by a serenity akin to that of the old monk from those days.

"Your Buddhism has deepened," Chu Mo said with a smile.

"I dare not claim so," Xu Du responded, clasping one hand to his chest in a Buddhist gesture. "Amitabha. I have always been following in Chu Benefactor's footsteps and have had the good fortune to see you here."

"Following my footsteps?" Chu Mo looked at him, somewhat surprised.

Xu Du replied, "This poor monk hopes to fight against the invasion of the Demon Clan alongside Chu Benefactor, to contribute to this beautiful world."

"That would be truly wonderful!" Chu Mo said happily. He hadn't used his divine abilities to assess this small monk because he knew that the monk's cultivation in Buddhism was profound and not to be measured by ordinary standards.

Just as, in the Immortal Realm, a normal cultivator could never break through and ascend in such a manner, yet he could.

Chu Mo asked Xu Du, "Do you really have a way?"

"A monk does not speak lies," Xu Du said with a faint smile.

"Weren't you the one who didn't know the Six Syllable Mantra?" Chu Mo queried.

"The Six Syllable Mantra is for suppressing demons," Xu Du said with a smile. "What I have learned is for saving demons."

"Then... shall we try?" Chu Mo's eyes lit up. Although he didn't fully believe Xu Du's words, he knew that Buddhist practitioners indeed were not permitted to speak falsehoods.

"Very well." Xu Du glanced at the three "Lie"-titled ancestors of the Qin family. "Do the three elders permit it?"

"We?" Qin Lieyang raised an eyebrow slightly, "Since the little master is a friend of Young Master Chu, of course he may proceed."

This was a sign of trust in Chu Mo and recognition of his standing.

Chu Mo nodded as a signal.

Following that, Qin Lieshui personally flew over the Ancient City, part of the Qin family's ancestral land, and issued a decree, instructing everyone to sit quietly and enter a state of emptiness, free of thought.

With the word from the ancestor and the fact that nearly all inhabitants of the Ancient City were well aware of the situation, they all prepared accordingly.

Xu Du looked at Chu Mo, "My Buddhist powers are limited. If I find myself lacking in strength, I will need the help of Chu Benefactor."

"What help do you need?" Chu Mo asked.

"A Heavenly Crystal would suffice," Xu Du said with a gentle smile, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

"Alright!" Chu Mo nodded; other things might require preparation, but Heavenly Crystals were something he had in abundance.

Qin Liexing spoke from aside, "To assist us, the Qin family, why should Young Master Chu have to spend his own resources? As for the Heavenly Crystal... how much you need, we shall cover it."

Chu Mo chuckled, not bothering to dispute that point. As an ancient and prestigious family, they were certainly not short of money.

Xu Du then sat cross-legged in the void and began to recite scriptures.

A colossal, unparalleled golden lotus slowly appeared beneath Xu Du, then it grew larger and larger. Like a golden cloud, it completely shrouded the entire void.

This display immediately astonished the three Qin family elders with the surname Lie. They knew of Buddhism, of course, but did not understand it. They couldn't believe that Buddhist divine abilities could be so powerful.

As Xu Du recited the scriptures, solid golden lotuses began to fly out of his mouth and into the bodies of the Qin family descendants in the ancient city below.

Xu Du's countenance was dignified, and his aura continued to climb higher and higher.

Finally, a great Buddha appeared behind Xu Du, towering up to the heavens. Its massive body almost filled the entire void, as if the heaven and earth could barely contain the colossal Dharma body of the Buddha.

At the same time, the great Buddha was also chanting scriptures. The chanting resonated deep within one's soul like Thunder Shock after Thunder Shock. Yet, in reality, no sound was coming from the great Buddha's mouth.

********!

This was yet another great divine ability!

Chu Mo stood quietly beside Xu Du, protecting the law for him while also pondering the scriptures that Xu Du recited.

Each sound seemed to contain immense purifying power, as if cleansing and driving something away.

At this moment, faint threads of—visible only to the three Lie surnamed elders and Chu Mo—black energy began to rise slowly from the ancient city.

Xu Du's expression grew even more solemn, and the tone of his scripture recitation became graver. Every few tones carried a scolding note.

Powerful forces erupted from his body, flying into the ancient city below.

The three Qin family elders watched the scene with great admiration, deeply moved.

This young monk was extraordinary!

Time ticked by, and before long, half a day had passed; dusk was setting in.

The black energy in the void became more visible and abundant, twisting together and creating an eerie sensation. Even individuals with low cultivation levels could clearly see the twining black energy.

Suddenly, the black energy took the form of a massive Demon King Dharma, roaring as it lunged directly toward Xu Du.

This turn of events was utterly unexpected!

Though they had been guarding against the black energy, no one had anticipated such a development.

The black energy-formed Demon King Dharma was terrifying, exuding endless killing intent. Its presence seemed to crush all else, looking down on all beings!

Pfft!

Xu Du suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood.

But the sound of his chanting did not stop.

Chu Mo directly confronted the Demon King Dharma formed from the black energy, slashing it with a knife. The Demon King Dharma clawed frantically at Chu Mo as if enraged.

Swish!

The Dharma was cleanly bisected by Chu Mo's blade but quickly reformed into one piece.

This startled Chu Mo.

His blade contained his Dao, his law, and even a Quasi-Supreme hit by such an attack would be gravely injured.

Yet, the black energy-formed Demon King Dharma seemed almost unharmed.

"Its law power... is too strong!" Qin Lieyang said gravely.

His three brothers had also taken action.

When three Quasi-Supremes acted simultaneously, their power was obviously immense, but they failed to inflict any significant damage on the Demon King Dharma, which quickly reassembled itself.

At that moment, the great Buddha behind Xu Du suddenly moved, extending a finger as if plucking a flower toward the Demon King Dharma. From his mouth, he uttered a true word: "Om!"

Bang!

The Demon King Dharma, which had suffered little damage from the combined strikes of four Quasi-Supremes, suddenly exploded!

The Six Syllable Mantra!

It was indeed a demon-subduing artifact. Its power was terrifyingly vast!

Chu Mo looked deeply at Xu Du. The young monk did not know the Six Syllable Mantra, yet the great Buddha Dharma he had formed did. What was going on?

Pfft!

Xu Du spat out another mouthful of blood, his complexion turning a few shades paler.

At that time, Qin Liexing quickly took out a massive amount of top-quality Heavenly Crystals, forming a cylinder that floated in the void, encircling the young monk's body.

The young monk absorbed the vast energy like a whale sucking in water.

Qin Liexing then took out more top-quality Heavenly Crystals, which disappeared swiftly.

At this, even Qin Liexing's expression changed. He had not expected the endeavor to be so costly.

But it was evident that this was to save his own people. So no matter the cost, he would continue to pay.

Thus, after absorbing a huge amount of top-quality Heavenly Crystals, Xu Du's spirit, energy, and essence finally returned to their peak condition. Throughout, the sound of his chanting had never ceased.

Next, stream after stream of black energy was drawn out from the Qin family descendants in the ancient city below.

Chu Mo pondered silently, finally breathing a sigh of relief: Whether it be Qin Shi, the Jiang Family, the Ancient Sword Sect's Windwalker, or even the unremarkable Zhao Family, all the families affected by the Demon Clan had hope.

Of course, this included someone who had particularly surprised Chu Mo.

They all had hope!
